Hi, I managed to install FC6 but ran into a few problems in the process (good ISO, verified CD). I had some LVM2 groups from FC4 and FC5 (and possibly before) which I was going to have FC6 overwrite. I selected custom partioning in the install and I tried to Edit the groups and give them new mount points for FC6. There was some kind of error which I didn't pay too much attention to at the time. If I recall correctly it said something like there needed to be an extended partition for LVM to work. Since I already had /hda2 marked as an LVM2 partition I clicked around trying to convince Anaconda that all was well. I am quite sure the only button I ever clicked was Edit on a partition (no Add/Delete) because I was trying re-use existing volume groups. I then carried on to the next step of preparing the partitions. Anaconda then crashed. I tried reinstalling it but when the custom partioning screen came up none of the LVM groups were visible. Since I still had a few regular 4GB partitions around from some earlier FC installation I installed FC6 there instead and left everything else alone because I thought I could propably fix any LVM problems easier on a running system. Now I am running FC6 but I cannot mount any of my LVM volume groups. I tried try to list the groups initially using something like vgscan. The VolGroup00 showed up but it was missing one field which seemed odd (2nd from the top I think, I didn't write it down). If I try a vgscan now though nothing shows up. Is there any way I can try to recover my LVM volume groups? Here's some more details:

Oops. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Patrick -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
